You still have one more chance to experience Hapeville’s best seasonal event in the Arts Alley! Saturday, from 6 to 10 p.m., is the final celebration featuring music, art, German food and, of course, beer. Here’s what you can expect on tap at Beer Girl Growlers & Bottleshop on Saturday night.

A Whole New Bowl
Chef Keisa Carroll and Good Azz Food will be back in front of Beer Girl tonight from 4 to 7 p.m. with a new menu item, the Ganja Bowl. I asked Carroll last week about her favorite dish on the truck after a year in business and she had a surprising answer: the Paleo Bowl. This menu regular features sweet baked potato stuffed with a rainbow of peppers and sweet onions layered with a chimichurri infused steak topped and avocado cream.
“I like that it’s 100 percent clean,” she said. “There’s no preservatives. I love the Chimichurri spice. I like that I’m full after eating and I didn’t cheat on my diet.”
Weekend Reading
It can be tough to get into a yoga studio or find time to take a virtual class in the pandemic. Sanskrit Moon Yoga Studio has a great blog this week from instructor Kim Hobbs on ways you can practice yoga away from the mat and studio.
From focusing on breathing to writing down what you’re grateful for to taking a walk, Hobbs has some practical tips to work yoga into your daily routine.
Yoga is a gift that we can take with us and experience anywhere. We hope these practices serve you in the times that you can’t make it to your mat, but also when you can. The beautiful lessons to be learned through yoga in all forms stay with us and can be remembered and practiced both on and off the mat.
